Modern Home Remodel in Mount Gretna, PA

Introduction

A beautifully designed home isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about functionality, space optimization, and comfort. Gate Beautiful Construction recently completed a two-month renovation in Mount Gretna, PA, transforming the living room, kitchen, and bathroom with modern upgrades while expanding the bathroom for better usability.

The Problem

The home’s living room, kitchen, and bathroom were dated and lacked space efficiency. The bathroom, in particular, felt too small, limiting comfort and functionality. The clients wanted a modern, upgraded look while ensuring every inch of space was maximized.

Our Solution

1. Collaborating with a Local Interior Designer
   • Worked closely with a local interior designer who selected modern fixtures, finishes, and color palettes.
   • Ensured the home’s new design felt cohesive and aligned with the clients' style and vision.
2. Maximizing Space in the Kitchen
   • Redesigned the kitchen layout to enhance efficiency, storage, and overall flow.
   • Chose custom cabinetry and strategic placements for appliances to improve functionality.
3. Expanding the Bathroom for More Comfort
   • Took space from a master bedroom closet to enlarge the bathroom, creating a more spacious and luxurious feel.
   • Installed modern fixtures, lighting, and high-end finishes.
4. Crafting a Unique Herringbone Tile Layout
   • Installed wood-look tiles in a herringbone pattern with minimal grout lines for a seamless, contemporary look.
   • This challenging tile layout added a high-end, custom feel to the space.

Project Execution

1. Demolition & Structural Adjustments
   • Removed dated materials and fixtures in all three spaces.
   • Reworked structural components to accommodate the expanded bathroom.
2. Kitchen & Living Room Upgrades
   • Installed modern cabinetry, countertops, and efficient appliances.
   • Refreshed the living room space with updated finishes, lighting, and design elements.
3. Bathroom Expansion & Herringbone Tile Installation
   • Installed custom cabinetry and new plumbing to support the enlarged space.
   • Carefully laid herringbone-style wood-look tile, a detailed and highly technical process requiring precision.
4. Final Fixtures & Finishing Touches
   • Installed high-end hardware, custom lighting, and accent details for a modern, polished look.

Final Outcome

The newly remodeled spaces now feel open, modern, and highly functional. The expanded bathroom provides more comfort, while the kitchen and living room upgrades ensure an elevated living experience. The custom herringbone tile serves as a statement feature, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication.
